The package of measures adopted by the Spanish Government to deal with the consequences of the war in the Middle East, which includes some 80 measures, entered into force last Sunday, following its publication in the Official Gazette of the State the day before. In any case,  must be approved by the Congress of Deputies next Thursday and, for the time being, the PSOE is not guaranteed sufficient support to advance the decree.

Juntshas made it a condition to vote yes to the anti-crisis decree that self-employed peoplewho invoice less than 80,000 euros be exempted from VAT. If the PSOE included this measure in the decree, Junts would support it.

The Catalan Member has explained that a European directive provides for the non-payment of VAT by the small self-employed and that 'Spain is the only country in the European Union that is not complying with the directive'. In his words, Junts has been calling for this' for a long time 'and has accused the Spanish Government of' collecting 57% more 'from taxes on small self-employed people than eight years ago.

According to Nogueras, the decree presented by the Spanish Government contains "many measures" put on the table by Junts. 

On the other hand, to the question of whether they will approve the housing decree — the date of approval of which is not yet set — he has replied no, not "under the current conditions." "It is clear that the policies of Podemos, Sumar and the PSOE of the last three years have led to a reduction in the supply of housing and an exponential increase in prices," he added.
